 Speaker.
 Success, what is it?" was the subject of the lecture delivered in Dwight Hall last evening by the Rt. Rev. T. w. Dudley, bishop of Kentucky, whose efforts in behalf of the equality of the races in regard to church affairs have rendered him promi- nent. It was the fourth lecture in the Yale Young Mems Christian association course, in which four more lectures will probably be given, the first one for next term occurring February 20. The Berkeley association made an effort to induce the bishop to deliver the Berkeley sermon at Trinity church, but his engagements prevented his being in New Haven at the time and he consented to de liver last evenings lecture instead. He is very prominent in the Episcopal church and a finished and accomplished orator. After defining success as 8 generalization the speak CT gave as requirements to earthly success diligence and capacity. He spoke of the great privileges and possibilities of attainment in free America, of notable Americans who had succeeded most brilliantly and in closing pointed out the one chief end and aim of man as the goal to reach which all should bend their energies and to lose which all is lost

New Features Aaded-A Very Interes
 fnO


 ing Exhibit. With this the first exhibition of the New Haven Sketch club begins a new art era in this city. When the club room doors were opened at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a large number of visitors were waiting to be admitted. Throughout the afternoon and evening visitors filled the room and looked with admiration upon the many excellent productions by local artists. The room pre- sents most pleasing effect; the rich colored drapery upon the wall lends warmth and adds materially to the decorative effect of the exhibition.
 Smith, all of uniform size, gives decided and unique finish to the walls. There are many pictures added to the collection since our last notice. The one to be first noticed among them is Mir. George Candee's land scape, "A Passing Shower" The sky is naturally the most important part of the pie ture, and it is very realistically handled; the foreground is perhaps a little too cold to make pleasing composition, but it is no doubt nature.
 Mir. Candee exhibits two other landscapes that sustain the reputation that he has de- servedly won. F. T. Langzette shows a landscape boldly handled, nicely composed and possessing weird effect that reminds one of Poe's poems. His still life study is also worthy of favorable comment MT. William Watkins "Study of Fruit" fully demonstrates the benefits derived as a mem Der of the club Mr. Watkins picture shows great deal of close study and fine feeling. 0. E. Dewey has ereditable study of g dog's head. ''The Phari- see," after Munkacsy. is the title of "poker" picture by A. Heinze (drawn with hot poker). Mir. Heinze has mastered this 'poker technique" the result of which is very much like sepia drawing. W. F. Hopson has several ''proofs" of wood engrav- ings besides two pretty little etchings. R. M Sherman exhibits an etching of the old Tom linson bridge W. A. Franklin a marine in pastel.
 The exhibition will close on Saturday eve- ming.
